Join Service Experts at Walk MS in Dallas and Fort Worth

Published on March 18, 2016

Every week nearly 200 people are diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder that causes a person’s immune system to attack its own tissues or organs, resulting in nerve damage. Symptoms of MS can include tiredness, walking difficulties, vision problems, pain, and cognitive dysfunctions. One very unique symptom of MS is sensitivity to warmer temperatures. In fact, it’s reported that 60 to 80 percent of people who have MS show excessive sensitivity to increases in their core body temperature.

As if the sensitivity to heat wasn’t enough, the heat also intensifies other symptoms.

Since even a tiny rise in core body temperature (from one-quarter to one-half of a degree) can cause symptoms to worsen, Service Experts Heating and Air Conditioning cares greatly about this cause. While we love to be involved in our local areas and give back where we can, this disorder and all the issues that come with it hold a dear place in our hearts.

Calverley Service Experts in Fort Worth will be participating in Walk MS on Saturday, April 2nd at Trinity Park in Fort Worth and Service Experts Plano, Service Experts Dallas, and Levy and Son Service Experts will be hosting a booth at Walk MS on Saturday, April 9th at Addison Circle Park in Addison. If you happen to be out, come by and say hi – we would love to see you! If you can’t make it or aren’t in the DFW area, you can always give to help raise money and awareness for the National MS Society or find a walk in your community.

Given the increasing temperatures, everyone should be conscientious, stay hydrated, and rest as needed. If you or a loved one has MS, please remember these strategies from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to ease the effect of the heat:

· Keep cool in an air-conditioned setting during times of extreme heat and humidity. If an air conditioner is necessary to help minimize the symptoms of MS, the cost of this equipment may be tax deductible if the practitioner has written a prescription for it.

· Use cooling products such as vests, neck wraps, and bandanas, during exercise or outdoor activity, or pre- and post-cool.

· Wear non-constricting, “breathe-able” clothing.

· Icy drinks such as “ICEEs” or popsicles may provide short-term relief.

· Use an oscillating fan during indoor exercise.

We are excited to help create a world free of MS and we want to thank the National Multiple Sclerosis for their constant work and dedication to ending this horrible disorder. We hope to see you there!
